    Cov v QPR Song Review

    Gruff, Excellent stuff. No other team I know has their very own devoted song-reviewer. Your reach is further than you think; as you’d say to your pupils: believe.

    I think that Robins saying “priceless” and Fadz £30m Gyok is telling. What will SISU claim squad value is (I repeat what will SISU claim - not what we think it is?) £50m? You know what I think SISU want for the club.

    To be fair to SISU they have at least had the good sense to send Robins and the players away to Spain whilst all this might go on. Ok, not huge expense but at least some.

    Well at least it’s some type of assurance. Interesting about exclusivity

    I can see why people would see that there might be an underhand property developer angle with the area around the arena but we have to ask the question: Is Mike Ashley more interested in making a few million from property or is he a person that likes to be involved with sport? I can’t help...

    What I was told today

    I wouldn’t mind if we went up for a year, didn’t splash the cash, used the £100m or whatever it is to sort a stadium and the best academy and training set up that could be created and then just sat and waited. Why wait? At some point the overspend lunacy of all of the other clubs is going to...

    I don’t think they are somehow. If Ashley ends up with the Arena, he will look at the endeavour from a commercial viewpoint and, unfortunately, the added advertising and merchandising aspect will come into play. That Richardson is still involved and the seemingly duplicitous noises coming...

    Match Thread ⚽️ Coventry City vs Queens Park Rangers Match Thread - Saturday 12th Nov

    I caught that staff bit. Long guess: Dennis Lawrence to Wigan as asst Manager or something (he coached there for years) Scary thought: Ady as Mgr? No intel no rumour just worried that one day Ady is going to manage somewhere - to me he’s the Taylor to Robins Clough. We’d be lost without.

    Started to feel a bit sorry for the players and netball fans who probably live in Cov and have lost their level of sport. Not their fault. The P share or golden share or whatever for the netball surely could have been sorted for not a lot. Joy / Mike - you’ve dropped the ball there (pun...

    Player judgements, good and bad

    To be fair, out of him and Dann I rated Fox higher and was surprised that we got more for Dann. Fox seemed to have more dimensions; free kicks, crosses, Dann just a Champ level clogger. Shows what I know.

    Didn’t he end up playing for Scotland? If so. Yes rubbish.

    Player judgements, good and bad

    And now you’ve called me out, I’ve always liked the idea of someone either freakish quick or freakish huge on the bench to just mix it up and get opponents trying to second / third guess / prepare for chaos. Thought Onandi Lowe should have stayed. Huge drug dealer yardie on the bench. Ok then...

    Player judgements, good and bad

    As a kid used to regularly watch more reserve games than first team (not enough pocket money - don’t all “ahh, bless” at once) Franz Carr. Thought he’d be the next John Barnes. Fizzled out. Dougie McGuire and Keith Thompson for us. Thought they’d be stars. Fizzled out. Currently: That...

    Take a bow CCFC Academy

    There’s such a huge leap from u21s football to the Championship it’s sometimes difficult for academy graduates to get a manager willing to give them a break in the first team. Reading books and listening to podcasts of old pros like Hutch / Houch / Benno they seem to all lament the days of the...

    Take a bow CCFC Academy

    On the subject of academy graduates, what’s happened to Jordan Willis? 28 and without a club. Has he got a career ending injury? I always thought he’d be a good back up - particularly when at times we’ve had to play Dabo / Bidwell back 3

    In perspective this is one poster on that forum that is saying this. It’s hard to believe that all of the bond investors would have missed that point. Let’s see.

    I’m guessing (just guessing) that the Bondholders have a fixed floating charge over all wasp assets. I’m guessing that this above refers to Wasp rugby stuff (trademark, training equip) not ACL lease, which of course won’t cover £35m (whereas Lease might) I’m guessing Trustees are retaining...
